CNC Machining Hickory NC | Milling and Turning for Industrial Parts | Farris Group
Machined Components for Hickory Industries
Hickory’s industrial landscape includes furniture systems, equipment manufacturing, and utility support. Many of these products depend on metal components with reliable dimensional control. Farris Group provides CNC machining services in Hickory, NC for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum parts. Typical work includes mounting plates, connecting brackets, small housings, precision spacers, and turned shafts used in motion systems and structural connections.
All machining activity is conducted under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. Drawings and models are evaluated before programming, with emphasis on datum layout, tolerances, and thread details. Travelers identify operations, tooling, inspection points, and revision level for each job.
Machining Steps That Protect Fit and Function
Milling:
Farris Group uses 3 and 4 axis milling to create flat faces, slots, pockets, and precision hole patterns. Tool paths are selected to manage heat and cutting loads while maintaining surface finish. Workholding is set up to keep parts stable and correctly referenced during each operation.
Turning:
CNC turning centers handle shafts, pins, and bushings. Concentricity and runout are maintained through correct chucking and center support. When suited to the part design, live tooling adds milled flats, keyways, and drilled features without moving the part to another machine.
Holes and finishes:
Drilling, tapping, and reaming cycles produce clean hole geometry. Bores that influence alignment or sealing can be finished with boring heads set to tight diameter ranges. Edges are deburred per specification, and sealing faces can be machined to a defined roughness when indicated on the drawing.
Inspection:
In-process verification uses calibrated hand tools and on-machine probes. Final inspection for critical features can be completed on a coordinate measuring machine or height stand with a surface plate. Many production programs align around ±0.001 inch capability on highlighted features, with tighter ranges considered based on tooling and fixturing.
Stainless parts can be passivated when requested. Aluminum components can be routed to anodizing or other finishes. Parts are then labeled and packed using trays, dividers, and kits that align with specific assemblies or work cells.
Documentation, Shipping, and Destinations
Farris Group is a FedLinks Verified Federal Vendor, which is useful for Hickory customers working on projects with public or regulated funding. They can provide material certificates, dimensional reports, and thread gauge results in organized digital and hard copy packets.
